{ "item_title" : "Money and Arms", "item_author" : [" 刘刚 李冬君 "], "item_description" : "The key to understanding modern Chinese history lies in two words: money and arms. 理解中国近代史，始终逃不开的就是两个字--财与兵 Fiscal authority and military authority are the two decisive factors in traditional political contestations. In ancient Chinese politics, all political issues ultimately boiled down to questions of fiscal administration. In ancient China, every form of administrative power, when traced to its source, derived from military authority. Thus, what was called political power in ancient China was, in the final analysis, nothing more than fiscal authority and military authority. 财权与兵权，是传统政治博弈中具有决定性的两大因素。 中国古代政治，所有政治问题，最后都被归为财政问题。 中国古代权力，一切行政权力，究其来源，皆出于兵权。 因此，中国古代所谓政权，到头来，只是财权与兵权。 Liu Gang Freelance writer and independent scholar, who makes a living through the market economy while dedicating his life to the realm of cultural heritage.
